Hey Larry, indeed they are digging in and going for it after that last chorus haha. It's good you are making whatever adjustments necessary to play the parts - overall, the more playing you do, the more the fingers and muscles are going to stretch out making it easier and easier.

Some of the licks in the solo are a bit tricky --- again, make sure to slow it down and take it one phrase at a time.

Keep at it!!
